There are large white patches of skin on the scalp, which may be scaling due to seborrheic dermatitis. This scaling is actually the epidermal stratum corneum of necrotic tissue that is shed from the scalp. The stratum corneum is generally renewed relatively quickly, and some people will often find it very much like snow flakes on the hairy parts of the scalp. When this is encountered, aggressive treatment is required. Usually seborrheic dermatitis can be treated with oral medications, oral antihistamines of the second generation, such as epalrestine or loratadine, which are 1 pill a day, and topical Haxenaid solution can also be used.
